My favorite AOV is 60-90 degrees. That's a 24 mm on the *ist D.

I guess the FA 2.0/24mm has become my most used lens.
Before I got it, my 28-70mm was siting on my camera body while it's in the
bag.
Now I often find the 24mm just there.

Wide (28mm in 35mm format) to around 70mm covers about 80-85%% of my
shots. Up to now i've never had anything wider than a 28mm but i;ve
recently got myself an da 12-24 and its growing on me fast..
I do use long tele's 200-300mm but i would say for no more than 10%
the rest is mostly macro with

What lenses do you find yourself using most often? Why?
Most often, probably a workaday 24-70. Most carefully chosen, the A*85.
The former because it does what it says on the box very very well. The
latter because it has a talks to me.
I use my FA 35/2 most often. I like the angle of view, and it's fast
enough for indoor photography. If I need something a bit longer, I
go with the FA 50/1.4. Either is great at a party or event. But I
tend to go in cycles. In summer when I'm shooting more outdoors, I
use the DA 16-45 and

I'm using the 50/1.4 in the studio quite a bit. It's a tad short, but good

What lenses do you find yourself using most often? Why?
Long time experience with 35mm film cameras whittled my kit down to a
20mm, a 35-40mm, a 50mm and a 75-90mm lens, with a reserve of a 200mm
for those occasional long shots.
Nowadays, with 16x24 format, the 14, 21, 35, 50 and 77

I seem to find myself at 24 and 50 quite a bit.

16-45 f4 is on about 90% of the time.
If i go prime for what ever reason, i like my A 28 or A 50.
My 50-200 and Sigma 300 at about 5%.
I usually shoot at 7 or 21 millimeters, and only use the intermediate
focal lengths if I can not get farther away, or closer, as the case may be.

You mean, with a digital camera?
Other than that, a 7mm will make everything look funny! ;-)

What, isn't eveyone talking about with a digital camera. OK, I normally
use a 135mm lens (OK, now I am talking about with the 4x5 graphic).
Those who pay attention will note that all of those give about the same
field of view as 35mm lens on 35mm film cropped to 24x32 or so. That is

Why?
Dunno. Because! :-)
